[morganm] My personalw website has evolved a lot, but it is visible on the internet archive. This snapshot from 2021 shows the website as it was when during a job interview it came up and was discussed as a sign I knew how to do mobile design. https://web.archive.org/web/20211201090237/https://www.morganwebdev.com/
# [morganm] Well for FWIW I want to help create a welcoming space and emphasize good qualities of having your own domain and website. People respect it, some people may find it a bit nerdy but most people take away facts like “this person knows how to do a reasonably complex task” and “they also seem responsible and trustworthy”.
# [morganm] Having a personal website and my own domain name has worked excellently in my email signature. I get quality responses indicating people have read some of my website regularly, it really can put people at ease and confirm you are a person basically remotely. A+ Would personal website and domain again

# [morganm] My experience of operating my own website and being off several major platforms (but on here still, and occasionally cross posting to Linkedin) has been quite positive. People seem to take it as a sign of trustworthiness and some technical skill. The content and effort I put into my own domain stays under my control and feels a lot better investment than others.
# [morganm] I take it for granted but its actually super cool how I deploy these websites, using Netlify and GitHub, it does a lot of work for me and makes updates feel seamless. There are lots of ways to do this, but this freemium setup works great still.
# [morganm] My consolidated domain structure ends up being a little duplicated, as I am registered with 3 domains from different experiments in making my personal websites. I decided to keep these for now.

# carrvo [capjamesg]++ "look around you" is uplifting in a reminder that there are still people out there who appreciate that changes can have hidden negative results that run counter to the change!

[lazcorp] [Murray] I thought the concept might be of interest to the IndieWeb which is why I syndicated it here. Most of the "Intro to RSS" things I've read concentrated too much on the technical - I wanted to put together an interest-based starter pack so that someone could follow some simple instructions and get immediate results

# [tantek] [morganm] great summary of how your personal website has benefited you at https://chat.indieweb.org/2024-12-09#t1733710779962800 and subsequent lines. Would you consider writing those up (even just those few paragraphs as is are great) into a testimonial post on your personal site?
# Loqi testimonial is a statement of support for the IndieWeb, perhaps building blocks, tools, services, and/or especially the IndieWeb community https://indieweb.org/testimonial

[aciccarello] What do you mean by worse? I can search my site. Are you talking about relevance or missing content?
# [aciccarello] I have a link on my search page. But Ecosia site search seems broken

# Kolev capjamesg[d], I'm taking a break. Still haven't implemented POSSE completely, and don't know how to post replies.
# Kolev I love your site, BTW.
# Loqi ↪ A reply (or comment) is a kind of post that is a text (typically, though photos are possible too) response to some other post, that makes little or no sense without reading or at least knowing the context of the source post https://indieweb.org/Reply

# capjamesg[d] Kolev, why thank you!
# capjamesg[d] I love working on it!
# Kolev capjamesg[d], I especially like your URI scheme. It's very clean.
# capjamesg[d] I wrote about it at https://jamesg.blog/2024/08/17/url-design/ !
# capjamesg[d] [edit] I wrote about it at https://jamesg.blog/2024/08/17/url-design/ !
# capjamesg[d] It is important to me that URLs are intuitive.

# Kolev capjamesg[d], I was heavily considering using Aurora because of your URL design, but I'm not sure how difficult POSSEing to Mastodon and Bluesky will be.
# capjamesg[d] I actually just fixed a bug to make it faster today!
# Kolev Yay! 😀
# Kolev Loqi, botsnack
# capjamesg[d] Loqi, snack or no?
